The plural membrane, also known as the pleural membrane, is a thin, double-layered tissue that surrounds the lungs and lines the chest cavity.

It consists of two layers: the visceral pleura, which is attached to the surface of the lungs, and the parietal pleura, which lines the inner surface of the chest wall.

Sense 1:

Noun: The serous membrane that envelops the lungs and lines the chest cavity.
